Select a block array,put it with “Copy with reference” or “Cut with reference” into the clipboard,choose a reference point which isn’t in the center of the array,use the paste tool / with option “flip pasted entities”

If I flip only in horizontal or vertical direction the preview box will double in size and I can’t place the entities precisely regarding to the reference point.If I try to flip in both directions at the same time - you can’t see this effect.

I am using mac version and I have annoying issue with trackpad.I use qcad primary with my trackpad and under application preferences (Graphics View/Navigation), my setting is as follows.Mouse wheel / two finger swipe: Scroll (Trackpad...Enable pan gesture : unticked (found that enabling this often goes into pan mode when I am just moving my pointer around)Limit zoom and scroll to prevent overflows : ticked (hoping that this would prevent weird zooming issue. I will describe what I am experiencing later this page)Reverse mouse wheel direction for zoom :untickedMouse wheel zoom factor: 1.02

Things work as expected:

panning with two finger swipe

and the rest

Issue I am experiencing:

Often, when I am zooming in and out with two finger gestures, the view suddenly sets to some weird state and my drawing goes off the ruler. The mouse point remains where it is.

Workaround: Reset viewpoint with autozoom and navigate around.

Expected zoom behaviour:I expect viewpoint to zoom in / out at where my mouse pointer is or at least the centre of current view point.

Ofsset of a base-line with arcs results in massive ammount of errors.Most of them occur as a cluster of very tiny segments and are part of the offset. (zoom far in at the red circles) Mostly they occur where the offsetted arcs should merely be trimmend pairwise.Some occur as detached entities or as detached strings of entities very near the offset (strings not documented).Spooks occur at opposite site when base-line is not closed.360° curls can occur with R = Offset.Null-entities may occur (not documented, hard to find and not able to copy).

The base-line is checked and sound and has mixed tangentially or not tangentially connected arcs.Offsetting the mother base-line of the base in the file has similar effect but not all and/or different ones. Also encountered with offseting polys from fonts.Used to define pocket paths for CNC.Detected because the CNC driver will not accept Self-crossers, Null-entities or open ends depending on the settings.

Work arround is to explode and select small entities but this does not solves the issues.1) Choosing the tolerance large enough will detect small segments that should stay.2) Recombining will generate new ones at the place where the main segments remain crossed.Cleaning up the paths is a daunting process with some thousand segments for several offsets.

I assume this has an infuence on the CAM part of QCAD too unless the offset method is different.

There is an issue importing from Autocad:lines and quotes (both arrows and text) appear too much big (see attachment).I can fix quotes modifying dimensions in “current drawing preferences”, but lines are still too thick.Autocad’s dxf are opened with right line thickness but wrong quotes.Furthermore, Autocad opens Qcad’s dxf files showing wrong quotes.

Vertical dimensions created with 3rd party applications are sometimes imported as horizontal dimensions with length 0. Changing the angle in the property editor fixes the problem.Problem occurs in QCAD 2.2 and QCAD 3.0.

When creating a new file, selecting the e. g. line tool at first opens the linemenu and the snap tool menu as expected. After clicking on the back button twice (going back to the main menu) and selecting the e. g. circle menu, the snap tool menu is shown instead of the circle menu. Instead the circle menu is shown after pressing the back button again.

This only happens when clicking on the back button, but with any tool menu seleected. Pressing escape to go back does not show this problem.

Start up QCAD, (with existing or new configuration, doesn’t seem to matter), “Save as” the completely empty drawing, choose “R15 (dxflib)” on Pro (only this one is available on community), save drawing.

Problem not present when a completely empty drawing saved using Teigha in R15 format is opened (ie. it just results in an empty drawing in AutoCAD 2000). Problem is also not present when saving an existing drawing with Pro (trial) with Teigha and opening it in AutoCAD 2000. Problem does present when trying to open a dxflib-saved drawing in AutoCAD 2000.

Empty drawings created with both dxflib 3.3.4.0 in QCAD Pro 3.4.5 trial and Teigha whatever in QCAD Pro trial 3.4.5 are attached. (Community Git 135fd0 is identical to Pro - same dxflib version.)

I wanted to make it so, that SVG units translate 1:1 into CAD units; I use the German localized QCAD and entered 25,4 into the box with the wrong result, i.e. the same as 25; Entering 25.4 got me what I wanted: The question box needs the point and ignores the comma. Would be nice if it could use the localized separator.

Divide the poly selecting near segment 1 at the segment crossing.> A new node is inserted on the crossing and made start and end node. Divide the poly again selecting near segment 2 at the segment crossing.> no division appears to be done.

from time to time I need to place a circle etc precisely between two entity’s - what is a lot of construction work to get it correct. With the new “Info tool “Distance Entity to Entity” we have already the base for a new snap tool which could help to get rid of the time consuming construction process in cases like this. I would appreciate to get a new snap tool which is able to figure out the shortest distance between to entity’s and then will snap to the middle of it.

Would it make also cense to have a second new snap tool which works opposite for the furthermost distance between two entity’s?
